MANAGUA, NICARAGUA--(Marketwire - January 25, 2010) - Beneficial Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BFHJ), a casino investment and management holding company, today announced that it completed the necessary paperwork to effectuate the dividend of six shares for every one share that shareholders have. Now the Company will work with its transfer agent on obtaining the transfer agent verification. This process should take only 24-36 hours.

The Company will request a dividend ex date in the second week of February 2010, but cannot guarantee such a date pending approval from FINRA.
